"I know it's troubled times," Bush said in Indianapolis. "And it's turbulence on your TV screens that affects the conscience of Americans. I know that, and so does the enemy." Gas @ $3 per gallon and electricity bills bigger than the mortgage are the enemies; that and shellgamers, shuckerjivers and shitheels.
And now for something completely different:
A high-tech alarm audible only to youngsters which has dramatically cut loutish behaviour outside a British shop must be switched off over fears it infringes human rights, police said.
The Mosquito emits an irritating high-pitched pulse that most people aged under 20 can hear but almost nobody over 30 can.
The Spar grocery shop on Caerlon Road in Newport, south Wales said anti-social behaviour had plunged by 84 percent outside the premises since it was installed earlier this year.
However, human rights concerns have swatted The Mosquito, and stung the shop's furious managers in the process.
"It's absolutely disgusting," a spokesman for the shop said.
"These louts can infringe on our rights to run a profitable shop for the community yet we can't dare infringe on their right to loiter and make life a misery for our shoppers," the BBC quoted him as saying.
A police spokesman said: "Gwent Police agreed to monitor a trial at a retail premises on Caerleon Road and there was an initial indication that it was successful at deterring anti-social behaviour and was positively received by the local community.
"However, it was decided by the Newport Community Safety Partnership (NCSP) that before endorsing the device, issues concerning health and safety and human rights need to be resolved."
Say What?
"There is no state with a democracy except Libya on the whole planet," Gaddafi said.
He touted Libya's political system as superior to the "farcical" and "fake orgasms of parliamentarian and representative democracies in the West."
"Countries like the United States, India, China, the Russian Federation, are in bad need of this Jamahiriyah system," he said. "This is a soul, savior, heart and brain to them."
